Release Date: 2024-06-19

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a relatively rare disease, with prevalence estimates varying globally. In the United States, prevalence is estimated to be around 14-43 cases per 100,000 people, with higher rates in older populations. The annual incidence is estimated to be 6-16 cases per 100,000 people. There is considerable variation across different countries and regions, [...]

    Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a relatively rare disease, with prevalence estimates varying globally. In the United States, prevalence is estimated to be around 14-43 cases per 100,000 people, with higher rates in older populations. The annual incidence is estimated to be 6-16 cases per 100,000 people. There is considerable variation across different countries and regions, likely due to differences in diagnostic criteria and reporting practices. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis primarily affects individuals over 50 years old. The risk increases with age, and it is most commonly diagnosed in people in their 60s and 70s. There is a slight male predominance, with men being affected more frequently than women.
